Ready to reletWhy Merseyside Landlords and Housing Associations Need Fast Void Property Cleaning
How Many Empty Homes Are There Across Merseyside?
+Across Merseyside's five metropolitan boroughs (Halton excluded), 24,348 homes were recorded as vacant in 2025. Of those, 10,863 had been empty for at least six months. That is almost 45% of the area's vacant housing classed as long-term empty.
- Liverpool: 10,674 empty homes, with around 4,492 empty for six months or more
- Sefton: 4,588 empty homes, including 1,884 long-term
- Wirral: 4,294 empty homes, with 2,138 empty for at least six months
- St Helens: 2,841 empty homes, including 1,484 long-term
- Knowsley: 1,951 empty homes, with 865 empty for six months or more
Liverpool had 4.6% of its housing stock empty, against 2.9% across England. It ranked third out of 296 English local authorities for both its total and its long-term empty homes. Its long-term count has still fallen by nearly 55%, from 9,949 in 2004 to 4,492 in 2025.
Wirral returned 630 long-term empty properties to use in 2024/25, an 83% rise on the year before. Merseyside still has more than 10,000 long-term empty homes. Each one that gets sold, renovated or re-let needs clearing and cleaning first, and that is where our void property cleaning services come in. England had 754,264 empty homes in October 2025, up 4.8% in a year.
What Does an Empty Home Cost You Every Week?
+The typical social home stood empty for 30 days before it was re-let in 2024/25. Around 263,000 social lettings took place in England that year, and 86% were existing homes. That is roughly 226,000 homes going through a void.
At the end of March 2025, private registered providers owned 55,000 empty homes. Only 47% were ready to let straight away. Fast void property cleaning cuts the void period and the rent you lose. An empty home also gathers dust, bacteria and odours if nobody cleans it.
Why speed mattersWhat Does Our Void Property Cleaning Service Cover in Each Property?
What Is Included in Every Void Cleaning Visit?
+Void property cleaning restores a home to a safe, habitable condition. Here is what our void property cleaning covers in a typical vacant flat or house:
- Rubbish removal and a full strip-out of anything left behind
- Kitchen deep cleaning, including oven, hob and fridge
- Bathroom descaling and sanitising
- Floors, skirting boards, doors and radiators
- Windows, bedrooms and living areas
- A final check with photos for your files
Standard cleaning only wipes the surface. Our deep cleaning services go further, because grime left on hobs, taps and worktops damages surfaces and appliances. Our specialist deep cleaning service is built for empty homes and ends with sanitising every touch point.
End of tenancy cleaning is what a tenant books when they leave, and we cover it separately. A void clean starts where end of tenancy work stops. We work for you as the landlord, and previous tenants often leave more than a wipe can fix.
What Happens When We Find Needles, Bodily Fluids or Other Hazards?
+Empty homes can hide health hazards. We often find sharps, drug paraphernalia, bodily fluids and human waste. A full site survey spots each risk before the work starts. Specialist cleaning handles these hazardous materials, which can carry hepatitis B and other infectious diseases.
Our fully trained specialist cleaning team wears personal protective equipment, including appropriate PPE for each task. We carry out the safe removal of every needle and other hazardous materials, then sanitise the area. Hoarding raises fire risk, and pigeon guano can harm human health. Large hoarding, biohazard and bird dropping cases run as separate specialist cleaning services.
Damp is common too. About 1.4 million English homes had a damp problem in 2024, including 10% of private rented homes and 7% of social rented homes. We flag mould during the clean. One-third of inspected empty owner-occupied homes had a serious Category 1 hazard in 2024. A void clean cannot fix structural damage, but it can expose hidden defects.
Can You Clear the Rubbish and Furniture Left Behind?
+Yes. Void property clearance is part of the service. Our registered waste carriers handle waste removal and waste clearance, sorting each type for the right site. Hazardous waste gets safe removal, bagged, labelled and taken away by the book. Full house clearance is a separate service.
What we coverHow Long Does Void Property Cleaning Take and How Quickly Can We Start?
What Are Our Typical Turnaround Times for a Void Clean?
+We complete most one-bed flats in three to five hours. A two or three-bed house usually takes one working day. Heavy rubbish or hazards can stretch the job to two or three days.
Our cleaning services offer a fast response, and we respond quickly to new enquiries, usually with a price within one working day. Where the keys are ready, we can often start within a few days. Clearance, tenancy cleaning and handover all sit inside that 30-day window, so our cleaning services fit around your repairs team.
How Does Our Void Cleaning Process Work From First Call to Handover?
+Our process starts when you send us the address, the size and where the keys are. We survey the vacant property, photograph its condition, agree the price and fix a start time. Our team then works room by room with professional grade equipment. Rubbish goes first, then deep cleaning and final checks.
At handover you get a clean property in a habitable state, ready for new tenants, plus photos and a short report. If we spot damp or anything unsafe, we tell you in writing.

These are our rough prices for void property cleaning services, based on recent projects across Merseyside. A one-bed flat usually costs £210 to £280 for a standard void clean.

Why Housing Associations and Landlords Choose No Mess Too Much for Void Cleaning
Who Does the Work and How Well Are They Trained?
+When you hire our cleaning services, one team does the clear-out and the complete clean. Our trained professionals are fully trained, and our highly trained specialist cleaning crew handles biohazard work. We maintain high standards on every job, as our reviews show, and work with complete discretion around tenants and the belongings of previous tenants. Our void property cleaning services meet one standard, and each void cleaning service visit ends with a signed-off check.
How Do We Keep Every Job Safe and Legal?
+Our cleaning services follow health and safety regulations on every site, and we work in full compliance with UK regulations on waste. We keep a record of every load of hazardous waste for your auditors or local authorities. Health and safety covers fire risk too. Knowsley's council said two Kirkby tower blocks emptied for fire safety reasons pushed up its figures.
Which Properties and Situations Do We Cover Across Merseyside?
+As a specialist cleaning company, we clean residential voids such as terraced houses in Birkenhead and Wallasey, flats in Bootle, semis in Southport and Crosby, and maisonettes in Kirkby, Huyton and St Helens. Bootle had Sefton's highest empty rate at 4.4% in October 2024, while Netherton had the lowest at 2.2%.
Typical cases start when end of tenancy cleaning falls short, when a housing association takes a property back after an eviction, or when a landlord revives a long-term empty property. In 2025, 153,000 English properties paid an Empty Homes Premium. Great Britain has around 5.5 million privately rented properties, and each tenancy that ends can need clearing and cleaning.
Some landlords also hold commercial properties, such as a shop with a flat above. Our work on residential and commercial properties follows the same safety rules, and each commercial building gets its own survey.
